Hailee Steinfeld will star opposite Miles Teller in Winter Games, a sporty romantic comedy from Paramount Pictures.
Paul Downs Colaizzo, who wrote and directed the sporty-themed Brittany Runs a Marathon, is helming the feature and co-wrote the script with Patrick Cunnane.
The story is set in the high-stakes arena of the Winter Olympic Games and, per the studio, centers on a perpetually overlooked skier and a self-sabotaging hockey legend that collide at their breaking points. Their unexpected connection threatens her chance for a medal and his shot at a comeback as they navigate romance and redemption in the Olympic Village.
Tim and Trevor White are producing on behalf of Star Thrower alongside Teller.
Steinfeld is coming off quite the eventful spring. Not only did she marry Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in May but she co-starred with Michael B. Jordan in Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s original supernatural horror movie. The feature, released in April, proved to be a wild beyond most observers’ expectations grossing over $278 million domestically while also generating awards buzz.
Steinfeld also made a return to music by contributing a song, titled “Dangerous,” to the Sinners soundtrack. “Dangerous” has generated over 4.7 million streams on Spotify in first month.
Among her screen credits are the acclaimed Spider-Verse movies, in which she voiced the role of fan-favorite Marvel character Gwen Stacy, Marvel’s Hawkeye TV series, and Paramount’s Transformers prequel Bumblebee.
She is repped by CAA and Howard Fishman.
